Students were allowed to vote against the candidates of their choice. Gardner's percentage of the negative vote was 92.6, while Wallace received 90.2 percent of the votes cast. In the presidential race, Richard Nixon came in second, with a negative vote of 65 per r.t u..Hort Hnmnhrev fell just below the half-way mark at 49.8 per cent.

The most popular man in the election was the Democratic candidate for Vice-President, Edmund Muskie, who received only 23.0 percent of the negative votes cast. In the gubernatorial race, Bob Scott rated a negative vote of 40.8 percent, but the race belonged to Gardner from the banning. The non-election oauoi wanted to open to anyone who wanted vote.

On each of the questions about issues, the ballot' provided three choices and a blank space for the voter to write in his own answer. On some questions, the vote was divided such that no single choice received a majority. The recommendations that did receive majority approval were voting for eighteen year olds, the legalization of marijuana, and a program of black awareness. The first question concerned the voting age. The choice of allowing eighteen vear olds to vote received approval of 65.8 percent. The twenty-one year old vote was supported by 15.7 percent. The suggestions written in on this question included restricting the vote to "those unuer ou. auu w uiu: pass some sort of 'knowledge of candidates test.

"One thing unique about this year's CUB, is that it's not only a representative group (with members from dorms and frats) but it has an independent spirit about it; the members aren't afraid to voice their gripes and examine a proposal in all aspects," said Archie Copeland, assistant director of CU. Copeland, in his seventh year at UNC, is also not afraid Ui voice some criticisms of the entertainment scene here.

Carolina's fabulous Gayle Bomar, the ACC's third leading total off enser, will open the contest at defensive safety, a position he hasn't played since his sophomore year. And the high-flying Rascals, nationally famous Northern rock group who are performing at Carmichael tonight, will be somewhere in the Kenan Stadium crowd watching the day's activities. Both moves are, indeed, surprising and may turn out to be even more dangerous. Bomar, who dislocated his right thumb at Air Force last week, is still not completely capable of taking the hard snap from center, and instead of wasting his talents, Coach Bill Dooley has decided to use hin in the Tar Heels' generally porous defensive secondary. The Clifton Forge, Va. senior is no stranger to the position that he starred in as a sophomore when he led the Tar Heels in pass interceptions. with whom he works), "Carmichael isn't the greatest hall in the world for someone to perform in." He added that the auditorium's very poor accoustical system has prevented some highly sought groups from appearing here. (A request Las been made to the General Assembly this year for accoustical alterations on the hall; something which, according to CU officials, should have been done when the three-year-old hall was built). Another opinion Archie offered concerned the nature of the UNC audience: "Even though support will vary from concert to concert, some entertainers have said this is one of the hardest audiences they've ever played." The reason for this seems to be that a popular group must be well-known on campus if it expects to be warmly received, As examples, Copeland cited the 1967 John Davidson mm Weekend . . .

Hope First Open Meeting Students Speak To By SCOTT GOOD FELLOW DTH Associate Editor The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University of North Carolina met yesterday and heard comments from the student body presidents of each branch university and the president of the consolidated university student council. The meeting marked the first time the usually closed meeting has been opened up for student discussion. "I feel it was a very constructive session in which we discussed the continuing need for direct communica tions between students and administrative personnel," commented Consolidated show and an appearance by The Lovin' Spoonful in 1965 He remembers the latter group came on just before The Supremes and "were practically booed off the stage." Six months later, Archie reflected, they were "a first act tour themselves and were getting $7,500 per concert." Archie Copeland and other CU workers don't see themselves as promoters. They feel they have an obligation to adequately program for the entire student bodv. One CU official frankly admitted: "We are committee to the concept that we won't sell out every show." One reason for this phenomenon might be, as Archie explained, "many recording artists are disappointing in public", Another might be that a certain amount of competition exists within the campus for the student audience- m . !, 1 .z.

Bragg to pass University President William C. Friday. The student presentations before the committee were arranged in advance by President Friday and Governor Dan Moore. UNC student body president Ken Day felt the student group had a "cordial reception" from the members of the committee. "1 feel it is the process more than the content of the meeting which was its most important aspect," said Day. "We told the group that the university still faces challenges which tend to polarize forces on our campuses, and I feel strongly that if students can be called in and their viewpoints given the committee, much Set To Indeipendeni JL fraternities, athletic events, and local night spots. But David Brewster, manager of The Red Carpet and Richard Levin, owner of The Circle, Ltd. feel that enough students "want to do their own thing." So, as they see it, there is no real conflict between CU and their businesses. "In my hierarchy the CU Series, though it is in the spotlight and most students associate us with it, does not come out as the uppermost activity; more important is the total operation of the ongoing programs, aeciarea Artinc. But be that as it may, he realizes that such concerts as Jubilee and Homecoming are prime concerns of the student bodv. Last year's Jubilee, an immensely unpopular undertaking, became a self-declared "Beach Weekend" for many avid concert goers.

The UAWMF consists of representatives of the Southern oard progress can be made," said Day. Also announced at the meeting are six regional meetings to be held across the state in the next four weeks. The meetings will be directed by the consolidated university administration and attended by trustees and state legislators in each locale. The purpose of each gathering would be to communicate to those attending the needs, processes and goals of the university. All of the meetings will be concluded before Christmas. "We are agressively seeking to communicate the actions, purposes and goals of the university to the state as a whole," said President Friday. this but total attendance at last year's Jubilee was not noticibly down," Archie asserted. The attendance figures bear him out on this contention. He added that it is very difficult to lure established stars to UNC for a spring Saturday night at a flat rate (because the concert is free to students) when they are used to a guaranteed rate against a percentage of the gate. Any small profits a concert may bring and any funds which are left from student fees go toward the financing of Jubilee, both Haber and Copeland explained. This year's Jubilee which they hope will be more successful than last year's is already being planned. CU has requested Kenan Stadium for the concerts and is optimistic about securing it.

The group was formed "to coordinate action in North Carolina against the war," according to spokesman Charles Mann. Further programs planned by the UAWMF include teach-ins at Duke, UNC, North Carolina - College, and Ft. Bragg. The group also plans to burn a Confederate flag in a protest demonstration next week. Tentative plans for the demonstration are to hold it in front of the Naval ROTC building on Wednesday. The purpose of the demonstration will be to protest the "double standard" based on racism in the armed services. The UAWMF plans other such mass demonstrations in coordination with other anti-war groups in North Carolina. The plans for the first meeting are for Thursday, Nov. 18 on fur&t floor Hanes Hall.

Over the years he has enjoyed working with performers he refers to as real showmen: Bob Hope, The Fifth Dimension, Louis Armstrong, Smokey Robinson, and many other acts. Also as a result of his long experience in the show business field, he has developed close personal relationships with almost every major New York booking agent. This has been a great asset to his work. For example, the Bob Hope appearance here two years ago was the result of a phone call from one of Henry's contacts asking whether or not UNC had an open date because Hope was being very selective in the campuses he planned to appear (Continued on page 5) War
